NYMTC seeks ways to increase the mix of rail and waterborne freight and improve the overall movement of all modes of freight transportation in the region.

NYMTC and its member agencies collaborates with various stakeholders in developing a roadmap for improving freight transportation in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut metropolitan region.

How Freight Moves

Trucks carry 91% of all freight into, out of, through, and within the NYMTC region. NYMTC’s Regional Freight Plan identifies ways to increase the mix of rail and waterborne freight and improve the overall movement of all modes of freight transportation in the region.

Freight Village Study

NYMTC's Feasibility of Freight Villages in the NYMTC Region study is a strategic planning initiative identified in the Regional Freight Plan that provides the region with a comprehensive examination of the potential for freight villages areas of mixed land uses related to the freight logistics to increase the efficiencies of freight logistics and transportation.

Truck Rest Stops

The Multi-State Truck Rest Stop Inventory and Assessment Study a collaboration with NYMTC’s partners in the Metropolitan Area Planning (MAP) Forum provides the region with a comprehensive evaluation of existing truck services, both official and informal, and a determination of the need to provide either enhanced services of existing stops or the identification of recommended regional improvements in the metropolitan region.

East of Hudson Land Use

The East of Hudson area in the NYMTC region suffers from a lack of freight-dedicated land use. This report explores the region’s need for rail freight facilities and looks at other regions where quite a bit has been done with small parcels of land.

Hunts Point Studies

Hunts Point Ferry Study

NYMTC is always interested in moving freight in ways that are alternatives to trucks. The Hunts Point Freight Ferry study examined freight markets and commodities that could be addressed by a waterborne mode.

Feasibility of Waterborne Truck Service From Hunts Point Market To Midtown Manhattan

In May 2007, NYMTC undertook an analysis of providing some means of barge or ferry service to Manhattan for the trucks and vans serving the new Fulton Fish Market and other markets in Hunts Point. This report examines the issue through several categories of related topics: tides and waterways, landing sites, vessel types, operational types and possible operating plans, issues and costs.

New York State Freight Network Atlas 1.0

The New York State Freight Web Atlas is an interactive, web-based map includes various freight-related transportation facilities that have been identified to date under the current New York State Freight Transportation Plan development process. The Web Atlas is a work-in-progress that we will update periodically.
